The Role of Focus in Successful Living

 We live in a world of distraction; where there are many things actively vying for our attention and time. This prevents us from making the most out of our day. But living a focused life, which is synonymous to living a life of purpose, can lead to quite a huge gain whereby we get to achieve our most important life goals. This is great, right? So, in this post I will be discussing with you important things you need to know about focus, the role of focus in successful living and how to maintain a focused life.

Focus means to set your mind on purpose to attain a particular set goal. It is an act of concentrating your attention towards a particular goal at hand while also avoiding distractions.

    Success comes as a result of undisturbed focus. It is focus that gives the discipline needed to complete a task. Loss of focus is the real reason for failure.

·      Our unwavering focus imparts us the strength to endure our present unpleasant situations. Someone focused on a project will see any setback as an opportunity to learn and improve. Whereas when one loses focus, he can become perplexed easily. He magnifies his setbacks and gives up easily.

Focus creates feelings. Whatever you are feeling or thinking right now is a result of your focus. We seem to act according to our state of mind. When we are happy, we view ourselves positively, act positively and achieve positive results. Conversely, when we are sad, we view ourselves negatively, act negatively and achieve negative results. So, when you control your focus, you control your feelings. Also, the state of the mind determines the quality of your focus. When you lose interest in something, your mind as well as your focus will be off it.

 

1.  1.  Make a plan

To be more focused in life, you need to plan your life. Write down important things (according to their priority) you need to achieve, the steps needed to achieve them, potential obstacles and how to overcome them, and give it a deadline. Then act on that plan every day (starting from the most important goal), even though it takes few minutes of your day. Remember, if you wait for perfect conditions you will never get anything done. If you don’t make plan of the things you need to achieve, you might end up doing less important things or even fulfilling other people’s plans.

1.   2.   Build healthy relationships

Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”. There is a great need for getting the right persons in your life; people who are well-informed, good and kind to help guide you. You can also meet these people by their books, videos and audios. There are always people who well versed in the area of goal you are trying to achieve, asking for their help will go a long way to ensure your success. 

1.     3. Avoid taking journeys into the past

The past has its way of ruining the future. Looking into the past, you will see: unfaithfulness, imperfection, achievements that brings complacency into the present and future, heartbreaking events, disappointments, pains, failures, etc. Always look for ways to improve using lessons from the past, not dwelling on the failure and regrets of the past. 

1.       4. Avoid anxiety and unbelief

You need faith to achieve your goals. Anxiety and unbelief in the actualization of our goals cripples our focus and ability to act effectively.

1.   5.  Develop patience

Anyone that don’t have patience cannot focus well on his goals.  An idea may be small at first, but if you work on it for a bit longer it will unravel and marvel you with incredible results. 

Focus is the key ingredient of success. When you are focused on your goal, you will find opportunity in the least expected places to successfully accomplish that goal.
